# Metadata and privacy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Metadata consist of information that characterizes data.
|
|
|
|
|
Metadata are used to provide documentation for data products.
|
|
|
|
|
In essence, metadata answer who, what, when, where, why, and how about
|
|
|
|
|
every facet of the data that are being documented.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Metadata within a file can tell a lot about you.
|
|
|
|
|
Cameras record data about when a picture was taken and what
|
|
|
|
|
camera was used. Office documents like PDF or Office automatically adds
|
|
|
|
|
author and company information to documents and spreadsheets.
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe you don't want to disclose those information on the web.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is precisely the job of MAT2: getting rid, as much as possible, of
|
|
|
|
|
metadata.
